In life we all strive to be something essentialTrying to stretch our limitsto the full potentialWe want to be that one personwho others admirebecoming the idolthat will always inspireWe all carry this flameto better our nameand be the influencethat is always proclaimedYet we cut ourselves shortthrowing our ambitions asideHaving a self-condemnationthat makes us fall back and hideWe feel the world creeping upand saying that we can'tputting a dimmeron our idealistic rantThey say noyou can't be the heroyou have and always willamount to being a zeroIts like they put a labelthat heroes only saveOnly heroes will fix the problemsand keep people from their graveBut did you ever thinkthat maybe your life isthat maybe your superpoweris being a whizAll the time you spendout helping othersteaching, discipliningfriends and brothersmay actually save themfrom their own sinmaking them feel wholeand refined againPerhaps all the timeyou sit and humbly listenMay be the timethat you most glistenAll the countless hoursyou kneel and praycan possibly be pushingyour friend's cancer awayMaybe the modestythat you carry outIs turning you into a herowithout a doubtAnd maybe you should give yourselfmore credit than you getBecause you will always be a heroeven if you don't want to admit
